OKLAHOMA ACCOUNTANCY BOARD Bulletin VOLUME 39, NUM B E R I J U LY 2011
Contents
Welcome to the New Year! This is an exciting year for our profession and for your Oklahoma Accountancy Board (OAB)
staff. As we reported earlier, the Board will be implementing a new enterprise licensing system, named AMANDA.
The State of Oklahoma will be utilizing this system for a number of licensing agencies. The OAB is the pilot agency for
the AMANDA system and will begin using the system February 1, 2012, following the implementation of birth month
registration which began January 1, 2012. Yes, everyone registers in 2012 for a full year and will continue to register
annually going forward. Please remember to register in your birth month and report your CPE for the preceding calendar
year. When registering in 2012 you will report the CPE you earned between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011,
regardless of the month in which you are required to register. We believe this implementation will be seamless to you and
will provide better service and ease of registration in the future. We have many new features that we are excited about
implementing with this system and will be telling you about them in the future.
Lots of Important Information!
Congratulations!
The OAB had 100% participation
for the 2011 State Charitable
Campaign. Thank you to all
who were involved and made it
happen. (pg.6)
Birth Month Reporting
Don’t forget about birth month
registration and reporting.
New Rules Govern
Ownership
New non-CPA Ownership of
Accounting Firms rules and
regulations. (pg. 4)
The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA)
and the AICPA have launched a new website designed to help you if you
are providing services to clients in multiple states. These services allow
a CPA exercising cross-border practice privileges to obtain information
on licensing and registration requirements for states in which they wish
to practice. This website is www.CPAmobility.org and is a great example
of State Accountancy Boards working with NASBA and the AICPA to
assist you in knowing the requirements of other states in which you may
be working. As of the date of this newsletter all states and jurisdictions
of the United States, with the exception of California, have adopted
mobility legislation.
Happy New Year,
Randall A. Ross ,CPA
Executive Director
